TuE:CATnoLIc UNIVERSITY.
Bishop Keane About to Return With
the Pope,s Instructions.

1t is expected that Bishop Keane, who has
been in Rome for some time consulting with
the pope about Catholic university matters,
will leave for this country some time this week
and reach here before the middle OF February
lie will go at once to Richmond and spend the
time till The ca dinal returns in putting into
the form Of report the ins ructions received
from the pope. Then meeting of tho board
Of trustees III be held in Washington-early
in March, probably-and the final measures
will be taken toward starting the building OF
the university. The most important part Of
the popes instructions Is said by the Clergy to
be the order that only st. Thomas Aqulnass
Scholastic Philosophy be used in the theological
department, and that n certain textbook,
written by professor at the Larboune, Paris,
be used, This order will please Sulpitians-
the prospective directors OF the instltution-as
they are said to have already dropped the
scholastic system in NIL their seminaries, but It
| by the Jesuits, who favor tho more practical
| and progressive systems of Bouvier and more
recent writer's. As Is generally known, the
scholastic system was the prevalent one in the
middle ages, and undertook to prove every
| question relating TO heaven, earth, the human
mind and heart by cast.iron. syllogsms. The
| System is certainly au excellent training for
! the reasoning powers, but gives no play to the
| emotions In reaching any conclusion. Her Is
| a humorous instance, given by Bishop Bos'
bucd with the scholastic ideas: zone day a
| monk clipped in his cell and broke his leg.
| lie did not cry out for assistance at once, but
| leaning his head on his hand first satisfied
| himself by an irrefutable syllogism that he
| was really suffering pain, and then called a
brother monk TO help him." This was the
| syllogism:
tiffany man feels that his leg Is being torn
| asunder, he is in pain. feel that my leg is
| being torn asunder. therefore, am In pain."
| OF course oil this is IN absurd exaygeration.
but there Ia this much truth in the idel-the
| scholastic philosophy trains the mind to reach
| oil conclusions by the syllogysmatc road.
| The Jesnits have never taken tothut style OF
reasoning, prefcrring the mystic and emotional
philosophy, go they arc not over-pleased the
| Thomas Aquinas system should prevail In the
Great central Catholic institution OF America
The instructions from the pope in this direo-
| tion were long ago expected, however. Leo |,
thorough scholastician, a man In whom tht
intellect dominates over the heart, and one tC
whom emotions are SO much deceit to be re
pressed. The adoption of Scholasticism leaves
no further doubt that the Sulptians are the
coming leaders in ecclesiastical training In th'
university and in America generally-at leas
as long as the present pope rules the church.

Life.savine Line Carrier.

An exhibition OF the Cunningham line car
rying rocket was given at the arsenal grounds
yesterday afternoon before the board of super
vising inspectors of steam vessels, now in au-
Hual convention In this city. So great is the
present interest in all matters pertaining to
the saving OF life in case of wrecks at sea, on
account OF the numerous disasters which have
occurred of late, that large audience of in
terested officials was also present. Several
members of Congress- representatives of the
life-saving service, superintendent of the rev.
enue marine service, and several navy and
army officers were among the number. Three
rockets were fired In quick succession, with
great accuracy, and said to have at
tained distances of flight never before
equaled by any other appliance for
similar purposes. Those in attendance were
loud in their praises of the invention, and
fully agreed to the claims made by Its friends,
It's unequaled range making II an indispensa-
Bile adjunct to the life saving service, and its
simplicity and cheapness commencing 1t as
the first appliance OF the kind which may be
practically carried on board of vessels for pur-
poses OF their own salvation. In many recent
cases vessels might have cast line ashore
from their own decks where no help conld
reach them from the shore, thereby saving
many lives There IL no doubt but that
rockets may be so constructed as to attain any
desired range TO one mile, or over, aud from
their peculiar construction they are certain to
be more accurate than any of previous manu-
factuTe because of uniform diameter from
point TO tip instead OF having the side stick
as heretofore.

THE SUM OF ALL vILLA1N1Es.
Liquor Traffic Must Be Prohibited in
This District.


An audience OF which any public speaker
might have been proud assembled last
night in the Congregational Church to hear
Miss Frances E. Willard speak upon prohi-
bitiop. The meeting was under the aus
pices Of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. Mrs. La Fetra presided, and opened
the exercises by giving out the hymn,
"Coronation, !" "All hail the power of jesus
pame," In singing which the great congre-
CATION Joined with much spirit.
Mrs. Hannah w. Smith, OF Rhode Island,
read portion Of one OF the Psalms Of
David. Miss Willard, who was then intro
duced by Mrs. s. ID. La Fetra, said that last
year more beer was made In the United
States than ever before In any year, aud
with unbounded resources the liquor traffic
was increasing daily. In Its support there
not say that they were estatesmen also. She
contended that every argument had been
expended, and that the women OF this
country were determined that the liquor
traffic, which was the sum Of all villainies,
should be prohibited by law. Referring to
the question of high license she said that
the women Of the White Ribbon Society
were utterly opposed to it, and would do
their best before Congress to defeat high
license. in the District.
For over an hour this earnest and elo-
quent advocate Of temperance and prohibl-
tion continued her address, and during the
entire time was listened to with the great
est attention. Judging from the hearty ap-
plause accorded her 1t was plain that a very
large part, II not the whole of her audience,
was in most thorough sympathy with her,
and greatly enjoyed the rich feast of reason
with which they had been entertained.
Two mpatinpQ will ha ha1l IN .lau nna n \

by Mrs. Hannah w. Smith, and at Up. m,

WORK PRACTICALLY UP.
New System In the Surgeon Generals
Office Works Well.

Under the new system recently inaugu'
rated In the Office of the surgeon general
the business OF that Office is practically up
TO date. Formerly one OF the greatest
causes Of delay in the pension bureau was
the fact that the reports from the adjutant
general and surgeon general rs to the ser
vice and hospital treatment OF claimants
for pension could not be furnished within
reasonable time. II was no unusual thing
for the pension Office TO walt ten, twelve
months, and more for reports from the two
bureaus mentioned. The record aud pen
sion division Of the surgeon generals office
has abandoned the antlquated methods 50
long in vogue, and at the present writing
(Jan. 3l) there is no unanswered clll from
the commissioner OF pensions of date
earlier than Jan. 0.
IL is the intention OF the surgeon general
TO have the work OF his Office brought up
so near TO date that the pension Office Will
never have to walt more than ten days for
the proper report In any pension case
During the present month there were re.
ports made to the commissioner OF pensions
from that one division Of the surgeon gen
erals Office In 5000 cases. The usual
average previous to the first OF the year was
about 1000. The credit for the Improved
methods which have led 10 these results Is
said TO be due to DIR. +. &. Alnsworth, who
recently assumed charge OF tue record and
pension division.
